A New Efficiency Improvement of Ensemble Learning for Heart Failure Classification by Least Error Boosting

Abstract

Heart failure is a very common disease, often a silent threat. It's also costly to treat and detect. There is also a steadily higher incidence rate of the disease at present. Although researchers have developed classification algorithms. Cardiovascular disease data were used by various ensemble learning methods, but the classification efficiency was not high enough due to the cumulative error that can occur from any weak learner effect and the accuracy of the vote-predicted class label. The objective of this research is the development of a new algorithm that improves the efficiency of the classification of patients with heart failure. This paper proposes Least Error Boosting (LEBoosting), a new algorithm that improves adaboost.m1's performance for higher classification accuracy. The learning algorithm finds the lowest error among various weak learners to be used to identify the lowest possible errors to update distribution to create the best final hypothesis in classification. Our trial will use the heart failure clinical records dataset, which contains 13 features of cardiac patients. Performance metrics are measured through precision, recall, f-measure, accuracy, and the ROC curve. Results from the experiment found that the proposed method had high performance compared to naïve bayes, k-NN,and decision tree, and outperformed other ensembles including bagging, logitBoost, LPBoost, and adaboost.m1, with an accuracy of 98.89%, and classified the capabilities of patients who died accurately as well compared to decision tree and bagging, which were completely indistinguishable. The findings of this study found that LEBoosting was able to maximize error reductions in the weak learner's training process from any weak learner to maximize the effectiveness of cardiology classifiers and to provide theoretical guidance to develop a model for analysis and prediction of heart disease. The novelty of this research is to improve original ensemble learning by finding the weak learner with the lowest error in order to update the best distribution to the final hypothesis, which will give LEBoosting the highest classification efficiency.

Association between serum ferritin and liver stiffness in adults aged ≥20 years: A cross-sectional study based on NHANES

“…With the development of deep learning techniques in imaging disciplines, progress has been made in the noninvasive diagnosis of many diseases, such as heart failure and tumors. [ 43 – 45 ] We believe that there is a trend towards fitting liver stiffness using validated variables such as serum ferritin. However, there were still some limitations to this study.…”

Explainable AI for binary and multi-class classification of leukemia using a modified transfer learning ensemble model

“…Sornsuwit et al [32] proposed an improvement in ensemble learning for heart failure applications. In this approach, the popular machine learning algorithms KNN, naive Bayes, and decision tree (DT) are considered; the weak learner among them is boosted, followed by a voting approach to build a strong classifier called LEBoosting.…”

Predictive Analytics in Heart Failure Prediction: A Systematic Review

“…Researchers commonly use heart disease and heart failure datasets from the UCI machine learning repository to build predictive models to predict heart failure and the risk of heart failure. [16], [17], and [18] used the Heart Disease dataset of the UCI database to build their models and involved various machine learning algorithms in their construction. They assessed each model with classification metrics like accuracy, precision, F1 score, recall, and AUC-ROC score to discover the performance of each model.…”
